Do your job but respect her right – NPP’s Amoakwa-Boadu on arrest of NDC PC for Awutu Senya East

A private legal practitioner and a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team, Amoakwa-Boadu, has told the Police to respect the right of the arrested NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Awutu Senya East, Phillis Naa Koryoo.

He also asked the Police to focus on their job.

He says that the Police have 24 hours of keeping her therefore her right has not been violated.

“It is for her lawyers to make the case that she should be granted bail, they have 48 hours to keep her, let them do their job. Police, do your job but make sure the right of the person is respected,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 on Saturday, June 8.

His comment comes after Tamale North lawmaker Alhassan Suhuyini called on the Police not to act in ways that threaten the peace of this country.

“The police must be careful they do not become for political distraction. This needless detention of Naa Koryo is not good. The only price commodity that has not yet been destroyed is the peace we must all be conscious of the protection of the peace,” he said in relation to the arrest while also speaking on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday June 8.

Flagbearer of the NDC Former President John Dramani Mahama also told the Police that the arrest and detention of Phillis Naa Koryoo, would needlessly raise the political temperature in the country and spark avoidable tension.

Mr Mahama condemned the arrest, in a statement posted on social media.
